What if we don’t even know the question based on the thread? For example in case of this one, I’m not sure what the actual problem was. Is keeping this one any useful?  
(Edit: “this one” is the topic where this originally was, [here](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/cannot-find-my-installed-extension-in-modules/3072))

I agree on the “slippery slope” notion, but we could have a brief checklist that makes this decision objective.
